We’ve shut down for maintenance, we’ve sought some fresh blood, we’ve got ourselves a new crew, and we’ve worked pretty damn hard behind the scenes to prepare the best Sonic-themed radio experience.
Thus, at long last, we are ready. Maintenance time is finally over, because SEGASonic:Radio is returning for good this very week!
For starters, as some keen-eyed visitors of TSS have noticed, adding a certain word in the address bar led to a brand new page, where everything is all bright and green! To likely be added underneath the Media Tab, SS:R has gained its own mini-site, which includes the complete schedule, and stream, chatroom, Twitter and Facebook links. DJs will also soon be able to post updates via the front page when episodes of their recent shows are uploaded into the Archive. A few further surprises should roll out over the coming weeks, but I’ll keep mum on those in the meantime… though I could say that the site will become more SS:R friendly as updates go along~!
So, how big of a relaunch are we talking about? Well… SEGASonic:Radio now has a line-up of eight shows – yikes, that’s just about a show every single day! Two returning shows, one taken aboard, and five premieres on this very station! What do we got?

I know. Wow.
With all of this said and done, the party resumes this Friday, June 14th. Tune in to Turbo on the ongoing Turbo Drive Live, followed by The Kickass Kawaii Show with Edo …with Edobean! From then on, the schedule rolls as slated above: yours truly on Saturday, Biafra on Sunday, Liz and Kirb on Monday, etc… and with E3 going on, we’ll all likely have lots to talk about! Be sure to tune in!
UPDATE: The Super Power Flower Hour might not be airing next Tuesday due to persisting computer difficulties on FTA’s end. Unless otherwise stated, there might not be a TSPFH broadcast until these troubles are sorted out. A warning from the guy himself!
UPDATE 2: I lost the ability to read a calendar properly. The 14th is what I meant!
June 15th is a Saturday. Just a heads up 😛
I’M A FAILURE OF A STATION MANAGER
That’s okay! We still wuv you! (▰˘◡˘▰)
Damn I thought you were going to have Grant Kirkhope (Misread Kirbopher) on the first podcast(?).
That woulda been awesome.
That’s every day…here in North America. lol
Europe still has days with a show, but let’s blame timezone for that lol
It’s great to have ya back SEGASonic Radio. Now there’s 4 radio stations I can enjoy this summer~
Very off topic, but I just watched the EA press conference at E3. Looks like Bioware won’t be offering Sonic Chronicles 2. 🙁
No is June 14 Friday.
Thats awesome their going to put Sega Sonic Radio in new Sonic Stadium theme tss.
really wished you guys got the station up before…..things happened…oh well…maybe in the future
Awesome news! I have very excellent memories of listening to SSR from 2007-2009. Well I hope things will cool like it was when I first started tuning in. 8)
*sigh*
Looks like I’ll be asleep when all of the shows are on.
I’m loving this schedule. Every single show takes place at a time I’m not at college or work. 😀
Just to check, does this schedule account for daylight savings time/BST?
Yippee! I thought SSR was gone. But avast, Can’t wait to hear some tunes again while chatting ^^
Now the IRC won’t be empty! XD
NOOOO! I MISSED THE FIRST MUSIC PLANT ZONE!!! CURSE MY FORGETFULNESS! Although, what I have seen so far is amazing! I was really impressed with The Kickass Kawaii Show with Edo! It’s always nice to see some feminine touches in the Sonic community. One question though, How exactly do I participate in the little tune guessing game she had? Do I e-mail her or something? Skype? Either way, I can’t wait for the rest of the shows! (Especially club rouge just because it reminds me of Sonic battle.)
